Thanks guys for all the feedback. I've decided I'm going to leave ITT Tech and apply to Globe Institute of Technology in NYC. Wish me luck! Thanks again, you guys really were a big help.

... that doesn't seem much better... Even something like one of the SUNY's would be a step up.

...and still a trade school.

O ok, I was just afraid that I would get bashed by a company because my resume would say that I'm an ITT tech grad, the school that every hates...

Not being able to make well formed forum posts properly is probably a more damning indictment than ITT...

QFE. Rule-of-thumb: Proper format is always important.

I had a hard time finding NateTheGreat22's question/s in the original ascii blob. So hard that I and many others are not even interested in whether they are interested to answer or not.

@ phresnel....I'm sorry if this is my first time ever writing on a forum (sarcasm).

It doesn't matter if the medium is unusual. If you want to work in a profession, you need to act professionally in *any* setting - and yes, that includes the internet.

Beyond that basic concern, when you apply for a job, chances are fairly good that someone at the company will google your name/screenname. You should be at least a little careful about what they will find...

Westwood is another of these distributed online universities. You should be looking at a traditional 4-year university, one with a campus, etc.

Quote:I swear I'm confused and don't know what to do, I'm honestly just trying to be successful.

If you just want to be 'successful', then game development is the wrong field: it has lower pay, longer hours and more stress than virtually any other computer science-related field.

If you are truly passionate about game development, then take the time to do it right. Ace your current semester at ITT, and attempt to transfer into a better 4-year university. If grades and/or finances are a problem, then a state school, probably one of the SUNY campuses. But if you have decent grades and can afford it, go for a high-end private institution: NYU is the obvious top-tier choice in that area, and there are several 2nd/3rd-tier schools as well.

"Even"? I'm an SUNY grad.
